Ah, was afraid you'd say that. Trade for belt hasn't yet processed (our trades tack forever....). So risk Herrera is grabbed by then. How much of a stud will he be? Enough to warrant dropping someone else?

If this is a league where closers are greatly valued and get scooped early, then Herrera holds more value. If you tell me that Fujikawa, Jim Henderson, and Boggs are still on the Free Agent list, then I'd wait.

I would stick where I am. Nothing has been announced other than that Holland is the closer still. All that really happened was that Yost will keep a closer (no pun intended) eye on things. Holland is still the man. Worst case scenario, he will just ride the hot hand, which of course would help nobody (think: mike shanahan and runnings backs)

I can't see owning Puig in this format. I'd take the near closer over a hail mary OF who would have to break out extremely well to help you out this year and make your keeper list. You risk giving up the spot all year, missing on a truly talented young closer candidate, and not keeping Puig anyways.
